Walked over to North Dock, Llanelli - an old coal/steel exporting dock back in it's heyday, now a centre for watersports - to take some images of a bath-tubbing race event.

As it happened, a very poor showing and disappointing.

I noticed that kite surfers were on the beach, only 100m from the dock.

Llanelli beach is an ideal venue for the sport, good onshore winds, shallow water and very good access to the sandy shoreline.

A large car park is only meters away, as is a cafe and toilets in the award-winning Discovery centre, within metres of the Millennium Coastal Park promenade and National Cycle Network.

About a dozen kite surfers were taking advantage of the conditions to put on a spectacular display, all set against the fantastic backdrop of Carmarthen Bay and the world-famous Gower Peninsula.
